Overview
- HSV announced on Thursday that the stadium will reopen for the Bundesliga game against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday at 15:30.
- Twelve height rescue specialists are continuing through Friday to remove residual snow and ice from two sections of the roof membrane.
- The catwalk suspended under the roof has risen by more than 30 centimeters toward its normal position, with no lasting damage found, according to stadium director Daniel Nolte.
- Tuesday’s home match against Bayer Leverkusen was canceled after pooled snow and meltwater on the membrane created heavy loads that pushed the catwalk out of alignment.
- A new date for the Leverkusen fixture is still pending, with February 11 or 12 reported as plausible options given Leverkusen’s crowded schedule.
